301 Chapter 301: Ah, this Damn Handsome Face

...

"Congratulations on winning this Spirit Battle, Senior Brother. You have cleanly won both battles today. Did you anticipate such a smooth victory in the Spirit Battle competition?" 

Zeng Yi: "I did anticipate it. Everything went as I predicted."

"Hehe, Senior Brother, you are really not modest at all. I have one more question. What is your evaluation of the President and Vice-President of the Red Sakura, your opponents today? How do you think their strength is?"

Zeng Yi: "As for them... hmm, their strength is very strong! To be honest, in the entire continent of Spirit Masters of the same age group, they are among the top. Even I have to be serious when facing them."

"Hehe, serious, huh? Senior Brother, your evaluation is indeed high."

"Rumors within the sect say that you are a disciple of Elder Sword Douluo. After watching these two battles and witnessing your superb sword skills, everyone becomes more convinced of the credibility of these rumors. So, are you really Elder Sword Douluo's disciple?"

Zeng Yi: "Since you all have guessed it, I won't hide it anymore. Yes, I am the representative of Swordsmanship on the whole continent and also..."

"..."

Zeng Yi: "The disciple of Sword Douluo."

"Hehe, Senior Brother, you're quite humorous."

"It seems that our guess was correct. Senior Brother, you are indeed Elder Sword Douluo's disciple. But why haven't we heard your name before? Have you been practicing with Elder Sword Douluo and just recently came out of seclusion?"

Zeng Yi: "Well, how should I put it? It's almost like that. I have been training outside all this time, so you didn't know about me."

"Senior Brother, there are rumors circulating within the sect that you and President Hong Jie are in a romantic relationship. Is this true? What do you think?"

Zeng Yi: "Although I don't know who spread such rumors, I want to clarify that we don't have that kind of relationship. Of course, it's just that I'm not interested in her, but she keeps pestering me. As you know, my unparalleled looks, incomparable temperament, and strong power make me a chosen one, gifted by heaven. Someone as charismatic as me naturally attracts attention and love from others. I have already gotten used to such things."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Zeng Yi couldn't help but take a step back. "By the way, can you keep your distance from me? Even though this is an interview, our proximity seems a bit too close, don't you think?"

"Oh! I'm really sorry, Senior Brother. You're right, I got a little too carried away and was attracted to you."

Zeng Yi: "Uh, do you have any more questions? If not, I'll leave."

"We do have more questions for you, Senior Brother!"

"Senior Brother, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Senior Brother, what type of girl do you like?"

"Senior Brother, what do you think of me?"

"Uh, please don't push me."

"Hey, can you give each other some space? Microphone is almost hitting my mouth!"

Zeng Yi, feeling a bit helpless, managed to escape from the lively and energetic group, quickly activating his Spirit skill and disappearing among the crowd.

Three days have passed since the Spirit Battle, but that eye-catching and exciting battle is still a hot topic of discussion among the disciples in the sect.

Zeng Yi, the disciple of Sword Douluo, defeated the previous strongest disciple of the sect, Hong Jie.

And Zeng Yi's name also appeared on the sect's Black Spirit List, overtaking Hong Jie to become the strongest disciple in the sect.

Zeng Yi's victory also symbolized the victory of the male disciples within the sect. As they have been suppressed by the female disciples for a long time, their position within the sect has been extremely challenging. However, now a hero has emerged and defeated the female boss, giving them a sense of pride.

Finally, the male disciples have stood up!

Now, even while walking on the road, male disciples unconsciously lift their heads and carry themselves with confidence.

"Lin Mu! Hurry up and come get your things. Why are you just standing there?"

"Hey! I'm coming, Linlin. Don't be angry." A male disciple couldn't help but envision his future as a master, looking gallant and confident. Suddenly, he heard an angry scolding voice and looked over to see his girlfriend glaring at him in anger. He quickly grinned and hurriedly ran over.

But some people are destined to be subservient.

On the side, two male disciples watched this scene with disdain in their eyes.

"What a lapdog. This guy has ruined the male dignity that Zeng Yi Senior Brother had retrieved."

"Exactly. Our position as males has become so cheap because of these bootlickers. Disgusting!"

The two of them looked at the couple, with the girl seemingly angry, walking ahead, and the guy carrying many bags and following her, trying to appease her with a fake smile. The two male disciples were filled with disdain and muttered to themselves.

However, deep down, both of them secretly yearned for the same thing.

How envious. I also want to have a girlfriend!

In the face of instinct, our male compatriots once again faltered.

At the peak of the Divine Sword Peak, Zeng Yi sat leaning against a tree, looking somewhat helpless as he gazed down at a group of girls chatting happily.

Yes, these girls are members of the Red Sakura.

After losing to Zeng Yi, Hong Jie did not adhere to the agreement that she would stop bothering him after the Spirit Battle. She continued to do things her own way and harassed Zeng Yi.

However, her actions were not as violent as before because they now knew Zeng Yi's identity and whereabouts. They also realized that Yan Que was the spy among them, so they used her weakness to gain access to the Divine Sword Peak.

Afterwards, the girls from Red Sakura started frequently entering the Divine Sword Peak, treating it as their gathering place.

Zeng Yi didn't have much to say about this. After all, his master didn't object to it and even welcomed their presence. Plus, Hong Jie was a junior to Bone Douluo, and Sword Douluo treated her well. The Divine Sword Peak was quite spacious, usually only accommodating the three of them - Master, Disciple, and Grand Disciple. So having Red Sakura's girls around added some liveliness to the place, which Sword Douluo also enjoyed.

However, Zeng Yi was troubled. The other girls from Red Sakura were fine since they weren't bothering him. The most annoying was Hong Jie, who constantly called him "Darling". He could tolerate the nickname, but she often flew towards him when he wasn't paying attention, which greatly annoyed Zeng Yi.

Zeng Yi felt that Hong Jie saying she liked him wasn't genuine. From her behavior, it seemed more like she was teasing him.

Although Zeng Yi had advised her, she didn't seem to listen and continued her behavior relentlessly.

Then there was Red Sakura's second-in-command, Nangong Lin. This girl seemed to be upset about being annihilated by Zeng Yi during the Spirit Battle and constantly challenged him. Unable to stand her harassment, Zeng Yi agreed to her challenge and defeated her with just a few moves.

But the next day, she came again, requesting a rematch, which left Zeng Yi at a loss.

Nangong Lin's fanatical attitude towards battles scared Zeng Yi. It reminded him of the terrifying shadow that Zhu Zhuqing had brought when controlling him in the past.

Now, Zeng Yi had to avoid Nangong Lin, or else she would catch him and force another fight upon him.

This person truly saw herself as a training partner.

Observing the group below, Zeng Yi couldn't help but sigh. With a wine gourd in his hand, he opened the lid and took a sip of wine.

He had thought that the sect would be more peaceful, but he hadn't expected it to turn out like this.

Zeng Yi believed that he had a passive loner aura due to being an orphan, but for some reason, people unconsciously gathered around him.

Could it be that his charm was so powerful?

Ah, this damn handsome face!

Thinking of this, Zeng Yi once again lifted the wine gourd to his mouth and took a big swig.
